what am i up to these days?

i've been getting that question a lot. from friends, family, past acquaintances, etc. it's kind of a tedious conversation for me - just like those who dread discussing with strangers on airplanes or trains what they do for a living.


for the past month now, i've been out in cupertino, ca for an internship with apple. ever felt like you were out of your league? like you had no idea what you are doing? that's basically how i felt for a while. but at the same time, i'm learning a lot about both myself and the kind of work i want to pursue. everyone i've met so far has always been amazingly supportive. exactly what am i doing? unfortunately, i can't really say.


for those of you who have the same misconceptions i did, the apple campus is not in one central location. rather, it is actually comprised of numerous spots dotted around the city. of course, there's the main campus at infinite loop where all the tour buses stop by. but there are also a whole network of offices on various streets around cupertino and san jose. 


stopped by one infinite loop my first day to get my badge photo taken. there's also a company store here where you can buy all sorts of apple branded merchandise.


my corporate badge. they allow props for your photo, so i packed quidditch goggles and a little robot especially for that purpose. #nerdwin




some non-cupertino photos. spent the weekend at monterey bay with two coworkers, one of whom is also a kcai grad!
